Jazz Fridays: Autumn 2024

We are delighted to bring back our weekly foyer programme of live jazz, hosted by The Aaron Moloney Trio. As always, this event also features an open jam session for local musicians in the second half. Come and Play!

From this Autumn we're delighted to invite special guest professional jazz musicians to join sessions on the first Friday of each month.
